The Ultimate Psychic Fair kicks off Springfest Monday on the Memorial Student Center Plaza. Students can receive free print-outs of their future from master psychic Tommy Bresadola. The out of this world activities continue through the evening and end with a seance in Marco's.
Students who are looking for a challenge can catch a high on X-Treme Air, which gives participants the opportunity to experience the thrill of sky diving without ever jumping out of a plane.
